KunstRAI

The KunstRAI is one of the oldest fairs for modern and contemporary art in the world, deeply rooted in both the national and international art scene.

More than 80 galleries present their selection of paintings, sculptures, photography, design and jewelery. Both experienced and emerging art lovers will be introduced to events and backstage programs such as the presentation of the Sluijters Prize and the Jeanne Oosting Prizes.

Every year, the KunstRAI invites seven galleries from a foreign city, region or country to create a special presentation. After Berlin, Antwerp and Barcelona, ​​among others, last year seven galleries from different cities in Japan have shown their collection on the ‘Focus Japan’ square. This presentation was organized in collaboration with YOD Gallery in Osaka, who also has participated in last years’ fair.

Art on Paper Amsterdam

Every year, Enterprise & Art organizes the fair for art on paper in Westergas Amsterdam. The fair takes place in September, during the opening of the cultural season.

During the fair, about 35 galleries will solely present work on paper. Beginning art lovers are likely to make one of their first art purchases at Art on Paper. The location is the industrial-monumental Gashouder on the Westergas site, well known to a young and culture-loving public.

Work on paper, be it charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor, gouache or collage, often express an artists’ most spontaneous and artisticly free moments. The directness associated with this medium brings the artist and viewer closely together. The medium is not only artistically special, but is often accessible and attractive in terms of size and price.

Their intimacy and vulnerability thrive with the exclusive attention they receive at a specialized art fair. Art fairs that are focused on one particular medium such as paper, are appreciated globally by many galleries and a mainly younger audience.

Open Art Fair

Enterprise & Art organized the Open Art Fair at Jaarbeurs Utrecht from 2012 to 2018.

During this five-day fair, visitors enjoyed a rich and versatile range of visual arts. A wide variety of art forms, including paintings, sculptures, photography, glass and ceramics, were discussed.

One of the pillars of the event was the important role of the gallery in the purchase of an artwork. For example, a good gallery sifts the large selection for its visitors and customers and only shows what it considers valuable, fascinating and beautiful. In many cases, a gallery owner will share the story behind the artwork to the interested visitor, whose appreciation for the artwork will be even greater.

Its diverse character provided visiters to the Open Art Fair an excellent opportunity to become acquinted with many art forms and to be introduced to a large number of galleries, allowing them to make a well-considered choice for a work of art that appealed to them most.
